In the 1980s, Pang received numerous gold and silver medals in national competitions.
Pang qualified for two events at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona: men's 50 metre rifle prone and men's 50 metre rifle three positions. Since he thought his standing shot wasn't that competitive, he gave his spot in the latter event to his teammate, Jiang Rong. Pang failed to make the finals in the event he competed in. He said that he participated in Olympic Village exchange events including a bowling contest where his shooting team placed third. Finishing his stint at the Olympics, Pang became the sports shooting coach at Foshan Sports School. After two years there, he moved to the sports school's logistics department. The last national competition he took part in was the 1994 ISSF World Shooting Championships in Italy. Although he felt confident, he did not compete in the event.
